Italian Eco-Prisoner Alfredo Cospito Smashes Interview Room Glass in Solidarity with Greek CCF Prisoners

from 325 / via Croce Nera Anarchica / translated by Insurrection News

On the 30th of August Alfredo damaged the glass partition windows of the interview room in the high surveillance section of Ferrara prison in solidarity with the prisoners of the CCF who were recently sentenced to more than a hundred years in prison for an attempted escape.

“Today August 30 almost 4 years since my arrest I wanted to celebrate the anniversary with the destruction of the interview room window panels. This action is my contribution of revolutionary solidarity with my brothers and sister of the CCF-FAI-FRI who were condemned by yet another judicial process and sentenced to 110 years each for a failed escape attempt. The anarchist prisoner is not a flag, nor must we build a monument around them, sometimes they are a piece of our heart, sometimes not… nevertheless they continue to struggle, to live… not to be remembered, but wanting revenge, freedom, but ultimately they may also be alone because by nature they do not belong to any flock… Long live FAI-FRI. Long live CCF.”

[Earth First! Newswire Editor’s Note: Alfredo Cospito was arrested with Nicola Gai on September 14, 2012, for shooting Ansaldo Nucleare manager and Finmeccanica affiliate Roberto Adinolfi in the knees—an action carried out by the Olga nucleus of the FAI/FRI (Informal Anarchist Federation) earlier that year in response to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. In May of 2015 their sentences were reduced: Alfredo’s to 9 years and 5 months (until February 2022), Nicola’s to 8 years and 8 months (until May of 2020).
